Every year, roofers across the UK protect people from the elements with outstanding workmanship and dedication to their trade. To recognise their efforts and celebrate the work that these incredible tradespeople do, National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) hosts an annual award ceremony – the UK Roofing Awards.
These awards accept submissions throughout the year in 16 different categories across the roofing and cladding disciplines. Once the year is over, a selection of projects are short-listed and announced in the spring (check out the whole short-list for this year). This short list is chosen by a judging panel. They use a range of criteria, including “degree of difficulty, aesthetics, problem-solving, health and safety, workmanship and environmental qualities.”
While most of the awards are distributed by the judging panel, there is one award that you can participate in the decision-making process of! The Industry Choice Awards, sponsored by Radmat Building Products this year, ask the public to look at the short list of projects and choose their favourite!
